They stopped teaching grammar in school. We're all slowly getting dumber.

It's crazy that people keep insisting on using words and expression they do not fully understand or know how to use properly. All of a sudden, "per se" has become the new "cool" expression to use but few seem to understand how it is written, when to use it, or what it means. Of course, these are the same people writing "would of" and "should of".

Don't forget about your / you're, it's / its, and especially there / they're / their.

In 20 years probably only the first of each of these will be used anymore. It's getting that way now.

My pet peeve is could care less. I had to correct it so often it became annoying. If you COULD care less, that means you actually care!
